Nicola Marinangeli (born 14 May 2003) is an Italian racing driver who last competed in the FIA Formula 3 Championship for AIX Racing.
Born in Foligno, Marinangeli started his career in 2018 in the Italian F4 Championship for DR Formula. He drove in the final event at Mugello and scored a best finish of 22nd.
Following that, Marinangeli signed for Xcel Motorsport to drive in the 2019 F4 UAE Championship. However, he finished last in the standings, with 37 points and being one of only three drivers not to score a podium throughout the season. He then competed full-time in Italian F4 with Bhai Tech Racing. He scored no points and finished 29th in the drivers' standings.
In January 2020, Marinangeli once again competed in the F4 UAE Championship. He won one race and finished fifth in the drivers' standings.
Marinangeli was signed by Bhaitech Racing to drive in the final season of the Formula Renault Eurocup. Both of his teammates would beat him in the championship, where Marinangeli only scored one point.
In 2020, Marinangeli made his debut in the Formula Regional European Championship for KIC Motorsport at Imola. In the five races he competed in, he scored six points, leading to him finishing 17th and last in the drivers' championship.
Marinangeli joined Arden Motorsport for the 2021 season, partnering Alex Quinn and William Alatalo. Despite regular finishes in the top-twenty, Marinangeli was unable to reach the points once during the season, leading to 30th place in the standings at the end of the campaign.
Marinangeli tested for Charouz Racing System on the final two days of the FIA Formula 3 post-season test in November 2021.
On 17 February 2025, it was confirmed that Marinangeli would make his FIA Formula 3 debut in the 2025 season after a spell out of single-seater racing, driving for AIX Racing. He experienced a challenging season, often languishing at the back of the grid; he took a best finish of 19th thrice and finished 36th in the standings, albeit second-last. Marinangeli was the lowest-finishing full-time driver of the season.
In February 2022, Marinangeli was announced by Dutch team Van Amersfoort Racing as one of their drivers for that year's Euroformula Open season.
Marinangeli made his first foray into sportscar racing during the back end of 2022, contesting two rounds of the Ferrari Challenge Europe at Mugello and Imola.
The following year, it was announced that Marinangeli would be joining AF Corse in the International GT Open series, driving alongside Riccardo Agostini. He would also partner Sean Hudspeth in the Silver Cup class of the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup.
